IBM leapfrogs everyone with its 2nm chips

As TSMC charges to 5nm transistor designs and Intel struggles for 7nm, IBM has topped them all with the world’s first 2-nanometer node chip.

9 enterprise-storage startups to watch

As the enterprise edge expands to include semi-permanent remote workforces, IoT, and a range of applications like AI and M2M, they generate torrents of nonstop data that must be stored indefinitely and be available in near-real-time to users and applications.

What Do Network Operators Need for Profitable Growth? – Cisco Blogs

What Do Network Operators Need for Profitable Growth? – Cisco Blogs

For the past 30 years, service providers have built networks using technology that was limited in terms of speed, cost, and performance. Historically, optical and routing platforms evolved independently, forcing operators to build networks using separate architectures and on different timelines. This resulted in a solution that drives up complexity and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Current multi-layer networks made up of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM), Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexers (ROADMs), transponders, and routers suffer…
